It was a storybook return for Jordan Morris who scored two goals as the Seattle Sounders defeated FC Cincinnati, 4-1, in the 2019 MLS season opener Saturday night at CenturyLink Field.
Morris, who missed the 2018 regular season with a torn ACL, broke a 1-1 tie in the 33rd minute on an assist by newly-minted captain Nico Lodeiro.
The goal was Morris’ first since Aug. 5, 2017 and the crowd of 39,011 went nuts. An emotional scene took place as teammates mobbed Morris following the goal.
